While eating lunch today with my gal friends from Take TWO I alluded to the fact that my son was going to be the main character from Failure To Launch when he is older...by my choice. :) Because I had a son as our last child, not only is he mommy's boy, but he will always be the baby of the family. My fear with having a son is that he will go away to college, meet a girl, and we won't see him often. I guess this is because it seems like more often than not the male tends to be where the wife's family is, or closer to them because a woman is usually the "relationship" keeper. I don't think I am making any sense, but I do have this fear. While I am kidding, sort of, that he would live with us well into his 30's it is something I think about. I know a girl, usually, will always be close to her mom, but I am not sure how this plays out with a boy. I feel like when my girls grow up, get married, and have kids I will be an integral part of their life and their children's because it is a woman's innateness to have their mother around. However, when my son grows up, gets married, and has kids it will be his wife's mom who will have that with their children. I am not sure I will handle that very well. Time will tell!

Yes, this is exactly how it plays out and it takes some time to get used to.
That's my fear, too!
dang...he's hot!
and no..my boy is my boy..the wife will have to get used to always being the 'second' woman in his life! LOL - I get the honorary title of 'first woman'!
My fear is that Coop will never want to find a wife because he so close to me! Look at what an awesome relationship Ellen and I have. She is very respectful of me as the #1 woman in Jeff's life, almost always ha-ha. Your entire family has this magnitism that everyone just loves them and has so much fun with them, trust me all of your children's significant others are going to beg to come to your house and if they don't your kiddos will not marry them.
